What do dinosaurs & archeology have to do with a conservative
website?
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

What do dinosaurs & archeology have to do with a conservative website?"
As a conservative site, Free Republic is also a forum for news of the day and a study of society in the U.S. and around the world (from a conservative point of view)...If we limited ourselves to the topics you mention, it would soon become a stale and unimaginative place to visit.
I have been lurking this forum since 1999 and I do understand some of the points you make concerning a brain drain. However a five or six fold increase in membership since then is sure to skew any real data concerning IQ's of members or quality of discussion.
I come here because I enjoy it...I like the topics, (from dinasaurs to Star Trek to Ron Paul) but mostly I enjoy the commaradary of my fellow Freepers... We may fight amongst ourselves from time to time, but when push comes to shove we know that we are a collective force to be reckoned with...

I’ve plowed through this entire thread looking for a historical perspective, selfanalysis, and introspection from fellow freepers. Your posts have been uniformly nasty and unenlightening. Maybe you should count to ten before posting before you embarass yourself again.
Obviously Jim Robinson can purge anyone or any discussion he so chooses. He created the FR and God bless him for it. However, it is important to tolerate intelligent dissenting viewpoints, otherwise the Freerepublic will become little more than a online echochamber.

Excuse me, Mr. Philetus, but who appointed YOU forum moderator? For your information, we post all kinds of topics here -- archeology, sports, religion, arts, health, business, crime, drugs, abortion, etc etc etc. It's not just politics 24/7. If you'll look at the posting page, you'll see that there is a HUGE variety of topics, even unnamed ones, that we can post on.
We also have a Gods Glyphs and Graves pinglist specifically on the subject of archeology. Check it out sometime!
You don't like it, take it up with the forum owner, Jim Robinson. He allows us the privilege of posting on practically any topic that interests us - archeology (and dinosaurs) included.
